Investigative Services Division

The Investigative Services Division is commanded by Deputy Chief James O'Bryant

The Investigative Services Division handles all major crime investigations from felony thefts to homicides. The division has two main bureaus, several sections, and multiple units comprised of a wide variety of personnel. Detectives specialize in property crimes, crimes against persons, sexual assaults, vice narcotics, gang affiliations, and crime scene evidence collection. As with many parts of the Toledo Police Department, civilian personnel work side by side with sworn officers to enhance efficiency and provide better services to the community.

Tactical Operations Team is more widely know as SWAT. The Tactical Operations Teams execute high risk search warrants, handle barricaded persons, and respond to any incident that requires tactical resolution.

Drug and Gang Reduction Team is a new version of the old Gang Unit. DAGR detectives have more investigative responsibilites to help suppress gang activities.
